The Billabong folk ride again - this time in wild country, droving cattle overland from the North. This is a story of good horses and dogs, their owners; and of a boy who found among them a new chance in life. This is one of a series of books set in the Australian bush, recounting the adventures of the Linton family living on a station called Billabong. The saga stretches from 1910 to 1942, with the tumult of the period reflected in these incident-packed books.
